Smooth Transitions Between Parallel Coordinates and Scatter Plots via Polycurve Star Plots

This paper presents new techniques for seamlessly transitioning between parallel coordinate plots, star plots, and scatter plots. The star plot serves as a mediator visualization between parallel coordinate plots and scatter plots since it uses lines to represent data items as parallel coordinates do and can arrange axes orthogonally as used for scatter plots. The design of the transitions also motivated a new variant of the star plot, the polycurve star plot, that uses curved lines instead of straight ones and has advantages both in terms of space utilization and the detection of clusters. Furthermore, we developed a geometrically motivated method to embed scatter points from a scatter plot into star plots and parallel coordinate plots to track the transition of structural information such as clusters and correlations between the different plot types. The integration of our techniques into an interactive analysis tool for exploring multivariate data demonstrates the advantages and utility of our approach over a multi-view approach for scatter plots and parallel coordinate plots, which we confirmed in a user study and concrete usage scenarios.     

Surface fitting based on a feature sensitive parametrization

Most approaches to least squares fitting of a B-spline surface to measurement data require a parametrization of the data point set and the choice of suitable knot vectors. We propose to use uniform knots in connection with a feature sensitive parametrization. This parametrization allocates more parameter space to highly curved feature regions and thus automatically provides more control points where they are needed.     

Determining Knots by Minimizing Energy

A new method for determining knots to construct polynomial curves is presented. At each data point, a quadric curve which passes three consecutive points is constructed. The knots for constructing the quadric curve are determined by minimizing the internal strain energy, which can be regarded as a function of the angle. The function of the angle is expanded as a Taylor series with two terms, then the two knot intervals between the three consecutive points are defined by linear expression. Between the two consecutive points, there are two knot intervals, and the combination of the two knot intervals is used to define the final knot interval. A comparison of the new method with several existing methods is included.     

A Dual Source,Parallel Architecture for Computer Vision

We present a parallel architecture for object recognition and location based on concurrent processing of depth and intensity image data. Parallel algorithms for curvature computation and segmentation of depth data into planar or curved surface patches, and edge detection and segmentation of intensity data into extended linear features, are described. Using this feature data in comparison with a CAD model, objects can be located in either depth or intensity images by a parallel pose clustering algorithm.The architecture is based on cooperating stages for low/intermediate level processing and for high level matching. Here, we discuss the use of individual components for depth and intensity data, and their realisation and integration within each parallel stage. We then present an analysis of the performance of each component, and of the system as a whole, demonstrating good parallel execution from raw image data to final pose.

Surface reconstruction using bivariate simplex splines on Delaunay configurations

Recently, a new bivariate simplex spline scheme based on Delaunay configuration has been introduced into the geometric computing community, and it defines a complete spline space that retains many attractive theoretic and computational properties. In this paper, we develop a novel shape modeling framework to reconstruct a closed surface of arbitrary topology based on this new spline scheme. Our framework takes a triangulated set of points, and by solving a linear least-square problem and iteratively refining parameter domains with newly added knots, we can finally obtain a continuous spline surface satisfying the requirement of a user-specified error tolerance. Unlike existing surface reconstruction methods based on triangular B-splines (or DMS splines), in which auxiliary knots must be explicitly added in advance to form a knot sequence for construction of each basis function, our new algorithm completely avoids this less-intuitive and labor-intensive knot generating procedure. We demonstrate the efficacy and effectiveness of our algorithm on real-world, scattered datasets for shape representation and computing.     

Scattered Data Interpolation Using Data Dependant Optimization Techniques

Interpolation of scattered data has many applications in different areas. Recently, this problem has gained a lot of interest for CAD applications, in combination with the process of reverse engineering, i.e., the construction of CAD models for existing objects. Until now, no method for scattered data interpolation with a bivariate function has produced surface formats that can be directly integrated into a CAD system. Additionally many of the existing interpolation schemes exhibit undesirable curvature distribution of the reconstructed surface. In this paper we present a method for scattered data interpolation producing tensor–product B-splines with high quality curvature distribution. This method first determines the knot vectors in a way that guarantees the existence of an interpolating B-spline. In a second step the degrees of freedom not specified by the interpolation constraints are automatically set using a data dependent optimization technique. Examples demonstrate the quality of the resulting interpolants w.r.t. curvature distribution and approximation of known surfaces.     

Sub-optimal solutions to track detection problem using graph theoretic concepts

This paper demonstrates how the problem of tracking targets, which appear as either straight or curved lines in two-dimensional display images (or data images) can be formulated in terms of a directed weighted graph model and how dynamic programming techniques can be efficiently applied to reach an optimal or sub-optimal solution. In general, track detection algorithms providing optimal solutions have good detective ability, but most of them suffer from the inability to detect discontinuous lines or to resolve efficiently pairs of crossing lines. A sub-optimal solution is provided that efficiently overcomes these weaknesses. We focus on modeling the track detection problem in terms of a graph, formulating fast sequential/parallel sub-optimal track detection algorithms and testing them on simulated data in order to show their detective ability. Moreover, we specify the conditions under which sub-optimal algorithms can perform at least as well as their corresponding optimal algorithms. This is significant for the track detection problem where fast, accurate and real-time detection is considered a necessity.

Subdivision Surfaces with Creases and Truncated Multiple Knot Lines

We deal with subdivision schemes based on arbitrary degree B‐splines. We focus on extraordinary knots which exhibit various levels of complexity in terms of both valency and multiplicity of knot lines emanating from such knots. The purpose of truncated multiple knot lines is to model creases which fair out. Our construction supports any degree and any knot line multiplicity and provides a modelling framework familiar to users used to B‐splines and NURBS systems.     

Free knot splines for logistic models and threshold selection

The logistic regression model has been in use in statistical analysis for many years. The paper introduces a spline model to remove the linear restriction on logit function. By considering knot locations as free variables, spline approximation of data is improved. The number of knots and the degree of the spline functions can still be determined by using a model selection procedure. Moreover, a knot, seen as a free parameter for a piecewise linear spline, represents a break point in the logit function which may be interpreted as a threshold value. This method is applied to a clinical trial for an in vitro fertilization program.     

基于Hough变换的实验数据坏点剔除方法

在实验测试中,除了获得包含误差的正常数据,实验员常常也可能观察到一些明显错误的点,我们称之为"坏点"。坏点的存在可能会严重影响实验最终结果的可靠性,所以在数据分析前,应该被处理掉。以往的常规坏点处理方法多为肉眼查看,手动排除。这种方法工作量大,并且判断依据不够明确,只靠"感觉",另外,在接收到大量数据的时候,手动法无能为力。本文在使用计算机编程的基础上,应用Hough变换,提出了一种坏点剔除的新方法,可处理符合直线拟合特征的实验数据中的坏点;作为扩展应用,该方法也可以处理以下两种数据:可通过函数变换转化为符合线性分布的数据和Hough变换可处理的服从曲线分布的数据。仿真实验和实际应用表明,本方法具有较好的性能。     

Wireframe Projections: Physical Realisability of Curved Objects and Unambiguous Reconstruction of Simple Polyhedra

The reconstruction of an object from a single 2D projection of a 3D wireframe model is a vision problem with applications in CAD/CAM and computer graphics.We propose an algorithm for the interpretation of wireframe projections based on assigning semantic and numerical depth labels to lines. This method allows us to state necessary and sufficient conditions for the physical realisability of a wireframe projection of a curved object. The presence of linear features provides further constraints on the positions of object vertices. For example, each straight line gives rise to a coplanarity constraint between a set of object vertices.We show that extra information, such as vanishing points, parallel lines or user-entered depth-parity information, is sufficient to uniquely determine the face-circuits in wireframe projections of polyhedra with simple trihedral vertices. In fact, a polyhedron with simple trihedral vertices can be unambiguously reconstructed from its 3D wireframe model.     

Identification of IIR Wiener systems with spline nonlinearities that have variable knots

An algorithm is developed for the identification of Wiener systems, linear dynamic elements followed by static nonlinearities. In this case, the linear element is modeled using a recursive digital filter, while the static nonlinearity is represented by a spline of arbitrary but fixed degree. The primary contribution in this note is the use of variable knot splines, which allow for the use of splines with relatively few knot points, in the context of Wiener system identification. The model output is shown to be nonlinear in the filter parameters and in the knot points, but linear in the remaining spline parameters. Thus, a separable least squares algorithm is used to estimate the model parameters. Monte-Carlo simulations are used to compare the performance of the algorithm identifying models with linear and cubic spline nonlinearities, with a similar technique using polynomial nonlinearities.

Approximation and estimation bounds for free knot splines

The fitting to data by splines has long been known to improve dramatically if the knots can be adjusted adaptively. To demonstrate the quality of the obtained free knot spline, it is essential to characterize its generalization ability. By utilizing the powerful techniques of the empirical process and approximation theory to address the estimation and approximation error bounds, respectively, the generalization ability of the free knot spline learning strategy is successfully characterized. We show that the Pseudo-dimension of free knot splines is essentially a linear function of the number of knots. A class of rather general loss functions is considered here and the squared loss is specially treated for its excellent property. We also provide some numerical results to demonstrate the utility of these theoretical results in guiding the process of choosing the appropriate knot numbers through the training data to avoid the overfitting/underfitting problem.
